Pokémon League Chronicles/Farming, Pokémon Trainer!

"The reason why Master Hama doesn't serve as the leader of the Pearl Team is very simple...because although he is very strong in various abilities, he has some personality problems."

"Character problem?"

"This is a bit careless, so many people in the Pearl Team think that he is not suitable to be the leader..." Zhubei hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "Forget it, I can't explain it well now, wait until you see it yourself He’ll understand when he gets there.”

——Bodybuilding——

Different from the previous time when Qi Yun led the team to conquer the tornado cloud in the pure white frozen soil, Mingyao and others' team this time was small and streamlined. There was only one carriage. There was no need to stop every now and then to rest and cook hot pot to stimulate others, so they moved quickly Extraordinarily fast.

Setting off at around seven o'clock in the morning, about five hours later, the flame horse pulled the cart into the pure white frozen soil. In the distance, several pointed tent houses could be seen halfway up the mountain in the north. This is the direction of the Pearl Settlement.

After approaching a certain distance, some figures gradually appeared on the originally deserted road.They were in groups, wearing thick Pearl Team uniforms, and were clearly members of the Pearl Team.

Zhu Bei greeted them on the carriage, and the members of the Pearl Team seemed to be particularly surprised by the leader's sudden return. A few people immediately rushed over, while the rest walked towards the settlement. Run and report the news to others.

Seeing the people from the Pearl Team gradually surrounding them, Mingyao simply turned over and got out of the car, stepping on the thick snow with his feet and looking level with the members of the Pearl Team.

After all, this visit was a thank-you visit, so it was a bit outrageous to sit in a carriage and have people look up at me.

Seeing the leader's actions, Nuonuo also consciously climbed down slowly from the other side using her hands and feet.

She walked to the place where the items were placed at the back of the carriage, stretched out her hands to take a few breaths of hot air, then picked up a few from the dozens of wrapped gift boxes, and wandered over to the members of the Pearl Team who were approaching. In front of him, he handed them the gift boxes with slightly surprised eyes.

These dozens of gift boxes were the main reason why Mingyao chose to take a carriage instead of teleporting with Gardevoir this time... Of course, they were also an important reason why Nono suffered a stomachache in the Shura field.

Chairman Ming is a real person in this regard: How can there be any reason to thank fellow countrymen with nothing?Even if gold bars are not issued directly, all kinds of oil, rice, firewood, salt, or celebration villages must still be prepared to let people know that working with the alliance will not be in vain.There are benefits, so that we can have the motivation to continue cooperation and win-win in the future...

The members of the Pearl Team were stunned at first, and then they all showed expressions of surprise. They took the gifts with smiles and shouted, then hugged Mingyao and others and walked toward the Pearl Village. Suddenly, the cold world suddenly Added a bit of cheerful atmosphere.

Chapter 240: Working hard to save the manuscript

Unlike the King Kong settlement, which is stationed on the flat ground behind the mountains and has buildings in a circle, the Pearl settlement is located on a mountain covered with snow all year round. The tents where the team members stay are not concentrated together, but scattered up and down the mountain road. on both sides.

The scope of the entire settlement was broadened and elongated, and the population density naturally decreased.At first glance, compared to today's Zhuqing Village, it feels like there are few people and few people around.

However, as the cooperation between Team Pearl and the Pokémon League has deepened in the past six months, the infrastructure conditions within the Pearl Settlement have actually improved significantly.

The originally rugged, steep and difficult mountain road was dug and repaired into a flat and spacious asphalt road. The snow that used to be as high as the calf was also consciously swept aside, making it much easier for people to enter and exit. The flame horse carriage that was originally difficult to move has also been moved. We walked along the road unimpeded and entered the territory of Pearl Village.

Looking further up, even in narrow places that are not suitable for road construction, strong iron railings have been installed to help people hold hands when they slip, effectively mitigating possible injuries caused by accidents; while hanging on the side are The wooden house with the Pokémon League logo is stocked with various fuels and blankets (produced by Melly Sheep Wool) for free distribution to those in need.

Mingyao looked up at the things that were obviously newly built, and subconsciously began to think about the infrastructure plan for the pure white frozen soil.

In his original idea, he planned to start work with the Pearl Settlement as the basis and center, giving priority to establishing it from a small settlement into a fully-functional and large-scale "Xuefeng City", and then driving the rest of the surrounding areas. develop……

But now that he had seen with his own eyes the appearance of pearl settlements scattered up and down the mountainside, he began to doubt whether the original plan could succeed.

After all, few people come here because of the temperature problem. Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic and extremely difficult to build a city along the steep snow-capped mountains.Even if this city is forcibly built with the high technology of the Pokémon League, if more resources are not poured into it, it may be difficult for this city to develop, and it will only slowly decline in the end...

How can "Xuefeng City" develop in the future?It seems good to use snow-capped mountains as a tourism selling point, but this is not enough...

There is an ocean further north. Is this place also built as a port city?It seems feasible in theory, but if there are mountains in the middle, it will be difficult to develop transportation.

Think about it carefully, no matter how you plan to develop here, there seem to be those snowy mountains blocking the road, and as we all know, the most suitable place for human development is always flat land...

Should we give up the original plan and find another land to build Xuefeng City?Or to put it crudely, since there is no natural flat land, we might as well create it manually...

"Chairman, Chairman! Wake up and move forward!"

Nuonuo's series of low-pitched reminders brought Mingyao back to his senses. He looked up and found that others had walked out more than ten meters in front of him, talking and laughing. Only he stood there unconsciously because he was lost in thought. And Nono, who has been following him obediently.

"Um...Sorry, I was thinking about something just now." Mingyao shook his head, temporarily putting aside his thoughts, and took steps to keep up with the people in front.

Nuonuo looked at his back, couldn't help but sigh quietly, and followed him.

She was not surprised by this.

When walking around Zhuqing Village, Chairman Ming would often see a wasteland on the roadside and stop to stare at it and ponder it. Then in a few days he would draft a related development plan there; Or when they see alliance staff or students on the roadside having a Pokémon battle, they will stop and watch for a long time. At the end, they will explain to Nono in detail the reasons for their victory or defeat, and by the way, they will carefully analyze the two Pokémon battles, Swamp King and Aplysia. Which of the water and earth combined-type Pokémon is better and worse...

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, but in a sense, this young leader’s mind is really occupied by work, career and Pokémon. No matter what happens, he can get into it in the shortest time. The working status is simply that of a typical workaholic... Are these really enterprising big bosses the most ruthless and ruthless when they exploit themselves?

Because of its fragmented distribution, Pearl Settlement does not have a "central area" for gatherings that can be seen at a glance like an ordinary village settlement.

In fact, due to the extreme temperature environment in Pearl Settlement, most people will not go out for activities unless necessary. Instead, they prefer to stay in tents to reduce physical exertion.

Well, to put it this way, in such a cold weather, even Gengar and Variety Monster of Mingyao family rarely voluntarily get back into the elf ball because they can't stand the low temperature, but Zhu Bei is as thinly dressed as ever, and there is no trace of it. There was no feeling of discomfort, not even breathing... It can only be said that although this girl looks petite, she is also an extraordinary person in some aspects, and she deserves to be the leader of the Pearl Team...

All in all, after a brief discussion, Zhubei and the members of the Pearl Team who came out to join in the fun decided to take Mingyao and the others to several tents near the hot springs on the top floor of the Pearl Settlement to entertain them.

It is the warmest place in the entire Pearl Village, and it is usually where important guests stay when they come.

After arriving at the place, some of the members of the Pearl Team were extremely attentive and enthusiastic to help Mingyao and others put their luggage and clean up the room, and some also helped to take care of and settle the flame horse. Xiaozhao, on the other hand, saw the steaming hot springs and his eyes widened. Liang excitedly came over there, stretched out his hand and poked, feeling the temperature from the earth's crust.

Mingyao touched his chin and looked at the hot spring bubbling. He nodded slightly in his heart and said to himself:

"Hot springs are indeed a good thing. If this is a special industry, it is a worthy bonus for tourist attractions... Although it will not be able to offset the disadvantages of the mountainous terrain itself, it can at least ensure that After Xuefeng City is built, it will have enough characteristic industries..."

Seeing Mingyao wandering away from his work thoughts again, Nono had no choice but to get close to him again and said helplessly in a low voice: "Chairman, let's put aside the matter of infrastructure inspection and finish the original things first, right?"

"Oh, indeed." Mingyao slapped his forehead and turned to look at Zhubei: "Your Sojuro... No, where is that Master Hama? I have to ask him about the ice rock monster as soon as possible. matter."

Chapter 243 4000 Things that southerners must do when they go to Northeast China

Zhubei looked up at the sky, thought for a moment and said, "At this time... Master Hama should not be inside the settlement, but at the ice rock block."

"Block of ice and rock?"

This place sounded somewhat related to the Ice Rock Monster. Mingyao blinked and took out a topographic map of pure white frozen soil from his bag, and quickly found the name of this place.

It seems to be located right in the middle of the pure white frozen soil, less than a kilometer away from the battlefield where the tornado cloud was previously conquered.

According to the notes on the map, there seem to be several huge ice blocks wrapped around the rocks standing there. They have not melted for more than 100 years. Instead, they have sunk deeper and deeper under their own weight and snow, and are finally completely fixed. In the land, it became one of the natural landmarks of pure white frozen soil.

Those pieces of ice rock are huge, each one is as high as a one-story bungalow, and the largest one in the center is even three or four meters high. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small building made of ice.

"Let me see, the direction of the ice rock... seems to be southwest of here?"

Mingyao raised his neck to identify the direction:

"Judging from this distance and the condition of the snow, it would take about two hours to walk there... Well, by the way, why does your master go there? From what you said, it seems that this is what he does every day Daily activities? Spend four hours going back and forth every day?”

"This... of course is because it is the coldest place in the entire pure white frozen soil." Zhubei said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Master said that human potential is unlimited, but an environment that is too comfortable will Limiting people's potential makes original talents mediocre.

As the saying goes, only the Magikarp who swims against the current can evolve into Gyarados. Only by exercising in the most difficult places can a person stimulate all his power.For this reason, the master insists on leaping from the Pearl Village to the ice rock every day, climbing the ice rock without wearing a coat, and finally duck-walking back. This is his compulsory course..."

Mingyao was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the map information in his hand, which marked the ice rock blocks:

[Affected by the ice, the temperature here is lower than minus 71 degrees Celsius all year round, and in extreme cases can reach minus [-] degrees Celsius. People with weak constitutions may faint at any time if they come within ten meters, so it is not recommended for anyone to bring a Professional heating equipment, go alone without a professional team to follow.

Also note, according to local residents, it seems that a shirtless man is often witnessed from a distance climbing the largest main rock in the center with his bare hands... However, due to wind and snow, the survey team was unable to conduct long-distance observations of the ice rock blocks. In addition, No matter how you think about it, this statement is too nonsense, so this rumor has been included in the local folklore collection and has no reference significance]

Mingyao was silent for a moment, and finally held his forehead silently.

All right!After all, he is a fierce man who can fight a ring bear with his bare hands and win. Even if his performance is a little exaggerated, it is normal... maybe?

"I can tell that your master is indeed a rare and extremely powerful man in the world. He probably belongs to the title of Super Pearl Man..." Mingyao sighed: "In that case, we will stay in the settlement first. Let's wait until he comes back from his duck walk in a few hours..."

Zhubei was about to nod when a member of the Pearl Team next to her suddenly said: "Um... Zhubei, you haven't been in the settlement for a long time. Maybe you don't know, but in fact, Director Hamam Lian has recently changed his daily routine. The way he works out, he hasn’t been on an ice block in a week or two.”

"Eh?" Zhubei was stunned: "In that case... where are the others?"

"Director Bin Lian said that staying in a cold place will make him gradually adapt to the temperature, and slowly lose the meaning of training to break through himself. So he wants to do the opposite and go to the entire Pure White The hottest place in the permafrost, use the high temperature to hone your perseverance."

The entire pure white frozen soil...the hottest place?

Mingyao's first reaction was, this member of the Pearl Team, why don't you listen to what you are talking about?The name of this land, Pure White Frozen Land, means both white and frozen. It is covered with white snow at a glance. Even the southernmost part of the territory has foot-thick snow. Where does this place come from? ?

Then he glanced away and suddenly saw the hot spring next to him, which was emitting white smoke and bubbles...

Uh, wait, no, right...?

The moment Mingyao thought, "No way," the hot spring water, which was originally relatively calm, suddenly started to tumble, startling Xiao Zhao, who was squatting beside him and had been testing the temperature of the water. , and sat down on the ground.

Under the hot spring water, a black figure suddenly approached the water surface at an extremely fast speed. With a "swish" sound, it actually jumped out of the water and landed on the shore with a thump, followed by a series of hearty and heroic words. came the laughter:

"Hahahaha! New record, 10 minutes! If I practice for a while, 10 minutes is not impossible!"

Mingyao looked sideways and saw that the figure was a tall and strong man with blue hair and a blue circular pattern tattooed on his chest.

The reason why I use "strong" instead of "strong" to describe it is because Mingyao just met a bald and muscular man named Sean not long ago.In comparison, the blue-haired man in front of him was still slightly weaker in size.

However, compared to Sean's muscles that are so big that one can't help but suspect that he has taken steroids, the muscles on the blue-haired man in front of him are tighter and more powerful. There is absolutely no doubt that he is using bare hands. There is no water in the record of the bear doing laps.

He only wore a pair of swimming shorts, and his skin was reddened by the hot water. He stood barefoot in the snow, but he didn't look cold at all. Instead, he stretched with enjoyment. The body and bones made crackling sounds.

Zhubei looked at the strong man who jumped out of the water like a fish and seemed to be able to breathe easily, and exclaimed: "Master? Have you always been in here?"

"Oh! Zhubei, are you back?"

The blue-haired man turned around when he heard the sound, stretched out his hand to wipe the water on his face and hair, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, how is it, my newly invented exercise method? I estimate that the temperature at the bottom of this hot spring is at least 60 degrees Celsius If you dive down below, you can both exercise your heat resistance and your diving lung capacity. It’s like killing two birds with one stone!”

"Oh, oh, so awesome, you are worthy of being a master!" Zhubei was obviously shocked by Bin Lian's extraordinarily fierce behavior, with deep admiration and admiration in his eyes: "That's it, sneak into the hot spring to do it. Is it an exercise for perseverance to withstand heat and hold your breath... I’m going to try it later too!”

Bin Lian put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly: "Oh hahaha! Well, you are ambitious and worthy of being the leader of the Pearl Team! Then I will explain to you the secret of diving right now. First of all, there are many impurities in the hot spring water, which will irritate you. The eyes hurt, so we must keep our eyes open underwater to minimize the discomfort to the body..."

--diving--

After the pair of masters and apprentices, one dressed colder than the other, finished exploring their physical torture methods, Zhubei seemed to realize that Mingyao and others were still around, and introduced them to each other with a slight embarrassment. one time.

After Bin Lian looked at Ming Yao and said meaningfully, "Oh, so you are the one who fought on the Ultramarine Coast? That's disrespectful," he asked Zhu Bei to take them to the tent for entertaining guests. He went to rest inside, and he went to wipe himself and change clothes before saying hello.

Well, from this point of view, although this director Bin Lian acts a little aggressively, he is still more or less a normal person. He knows that being half naked and dripping with water is really not a good state to talk to people...

Mingyao originally thought so, until he waited in the guest tent for 10 minutes and saw Director Bin Lian walking in and sitting down with his arms bare and wearing only a pair of trousers. He had no self at all, right? I didn't mean to wear anything less, which made a few people feel cold...

Well, it seems that for this fierce man, clothes are just decoration. Common people like Mingyao and others will not understand.

Zhubei briefly explained to him the purpose of Mingyao's trip. When he mentioned the three stone slabs, Binlian nodded:

"I see, that's it, ah, speaking of it, I did see something similar to that on the ice rock monster before. That one was a light blue brick a little bigger than a palm... Originally I was wondering about the ice. How could a rock monster have such a thing? It seems that it was left by the Great Master of Sinnoh for today."

Although this stalwart creature (Mingyao has classified the field director outside of human beings in his heart) has a distinguished status in the Pearl Team, he does not have any airs in his words and actions. Instead, he is quite casual and carefree, and he is also used to speaking. The use of "ah" and "that" instead of commas is as illogical as the wild uncles who can be seen casually on the roadside without a city. They say whatever comes to mind, and the various sentence patterns are mixed and the word order is confused, which is different from the various logics that Mingyao is exposed to on a daily basis. The strict written documents are very different, but still quite new.

"Um, what..." Bin Lian pointed at Mingyao, scratched his head and said: "If you want to find those three stone slabs... you have to find Little Wasabi, Xuefeng Temple and Snowfield King respectively, right?

Over there at the Snow Peak Temple, ah, it was originally an important ruins forbidden area of ​​the Pearl Team, which ordinary people could not easily enter... But, since Zhu Bei has agreed to take you in, then I will definitely have no objection, Just go find that Pokémon.

As for Little Wasabi...that child is very smart and has clairvoyance that can see the future.Even if you don't go to her, she will probably take the initiative to come to you with the Warrior Eagle and bring you the stone slab you need, so there is no need to worry at all.

And in the end, is it the Snowfield King..."

When he mentioned the King Pokémon he was responsible for, Bin Lian scratched his head hard, looking confused:

"Originally, I thought that although the Snow King was hit by the thunder in the crack of time and space and turned into a state of golden light, it did not fall into an uncontrollable violent state like the axe-splitting mantis. Most of the time They are all still sleeping quietly. In addition, the iceberg battlefield where it is located is located in the westernmost part of the pure white frozen soil. There will be no one around within dozens of kilometers, so there is no need to subdue it... …

Well, Chairman Ming, right?I would like to ask, if there was no such thing as slate, would you not want to interfere with it? "

"...That's not entirely true." Mingyao shook his head: "Perhaps the truth is indeed as you said. Even if the Snow King Ice Rock Monster is wrapped in golden light, it is still very safe and will not cause trouble to people or Pokémon. And I personally As a result, the work of subduing the King of Violence has been stalled for a long time...

However, it is an indisputable fact that it is currently in an unknown and abnormal state.

Since there are unknowns, there are risks, and risks mean that panic and uneasiness may brew in the hearts of the people in the Xicui area at any time.

It is also my job to eliminate these insecurities so that ordinary people can face their own lives with all their strength.I think, even if it is not to obtain the slate, in order to ensure that the infrastructure project of pure white frozen soil can be carried out smoothly in the future, I will come to subdue it sooner or later. "

"Oh, that's it, that's it..."

Bin Lian crossed his arms and nodded slightly, but he did not immediately agree with Mingyao's statement. Instead, he thought for a moment, patted himself and stood up:

"No, it's too stuffy in this tent. The wind blows outside to make talking more comfortable... How about we go out and talk while walking?"

As he spoke, Bin Lian seemed to glance at Mingyao, and then curled his lips at Xiao Zhaonuonuo and the others who had been listening nearby: From what he meant, it seemed that he wanted Mingyao to leave them alone and talk to Mingyao alone. What.

Mingyao easily understood what he meant, turned to look at Xiaozhao and Nuonuo, and said leisurely: "Do you know a trivia fact? In fact, in a cold place like pure white frozen soil, the smell of iron railings is... Is it sweet?"

"Eh?"

As expected, Xiao Zhao was attracted by this "cold knowledge", her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to drag Nono out and ran out, preparing to find a suitable place to try it out.Zhubei, on the other hand, was worried that they would get lost in the Pearl Village (and maybe also interested in the smell of the iron railings), so she ran out with them.

Half a month later, a document titled "The Adhesion Mechanism of Saliva" was newly released within the Pokémon League to inform the general public not to be like three people who tried to lick iron products at low temperatures and found that their tongues It can't be pulled out... Of course, that's all a story for another day.

"Okay, men, we are the only ones left now." Bin Lian patted Mingyao on the shoulder, pointed towards the mountain, grinned and said, "Come with me to the mountain to enjoy the breeze, and let's have a good chat. chant?"

Chapter 244 4500 A high level means you can do whatever you want.

The guest tent where Mingyao and the others were staying was already on the highest flat land in the entire Pearl Village. There were no mountain roads that could be walked on the mountains further up, and they were all sheer cliffs.

Bin Lian led Mingyao to a huge cliff in the northwest, pointed upwards with his finger, and laughed loudly:

"Um, Chairman Ming, do you know where this place is?"

Mingyao identified the direction and recalled the map of pure white frozen soil he had seen before: "I remember that the top of the cliff in this direction... seems to be the Snow Peak Temple?"
